Build ‘India Scale’ E-commerce with Kafka (Shiprocket) | Current 2025
Source: YouTube · Confluent Developer · published Jun 9, 2025 · 40:59
Shiprocket, an Indian e-commerce enablement platform, uses Kafka at scale to process over 1 billion events daily, supporting their mission to provide merchants with a seamless e-commerce ecosystem similar to Amazon's integration 1:55-4:25.
Key Takeaways:
• Shiprocket processes massive scale: 1 million orders daily, 2.5 billion database rights, and 1 TB of data published daily through Kafka 6:10-7:09
• They use a hybrid Kafka deployment approach: Confluent managed service for critical customer-facing workflows and in-house Kafka on Kubernetes for data platform and less critical services 13:00-15:39
• Their data platform handles complex multi-tenant architecture with 1,400+ MySQL databases and 50,000+ tables, using Kafka to stream change data capture to a unified analytics platform 19:30-25:48
• They leverage KSQL for real-time stream processing, particularly for their multi-wallet seller system and passbook functionality 27:17-33:48
Shiprocket's implementation demonstrates how Kafka can serve as the backbone for real-time communication and event processing in a large-scale e-commerce ecosystem, handling both customer-facing operations and complex data analytics requirements 1:31-1:36.
